Would you rather fish downrigger or lead line?
#13
[quote Tazasorus]I tend to do a lot of fishing by myself. I use the downrigger on one side and a lead line on the other. Kind of creepy leaning out of my little boat getting the rigger set up with no one in the front to counter balance. Last year I was on Henry's by myself, yes even in shallow I will run the rigger, leaned over to hook up and didn't see the big wave coming. About six inches of wave came over my back end of the boat. Good thing the outhouses were close. Have to say though that lead line at henry's for me works better. So often you grab salad on your lures and it can make the job of using DR tiring.[/quote]

Henry's is barely deep enough to run riggers in the spring. 14'. I set my riggers 2' down and run 150' setbacks. The riggers just assure that someone doesn't cut across the back of my boat and cut my lines.
